They appear to be not common at all.  One person wrote me about a 6809 card
they have, but it appears to be for some graphics purpose and not able to run 
OS9.

It _is_ very interesting running OS9 on an Apple.  I hate to say it, however, if
really want to run OS9 your best bet is a Radio Shack Color Computer.  They are
real cheap and run OS9.
